>				Enabling "Guest" access is easy.  But, you must understand that you should only allow the
				designated "Guest" user access to what you authorized.  It is not sugguested that you give
				the designated "Guest" user more than just access to graphs.  To enable guest access, first,
				need a designated "Guest" user.  Cacti by default comes with one already created that has
				access to only graphs.   It is important to note that the default guest user has access to all
				graphs on the system.  Once you have created the "Guest" user, you need to tell Cacti what
				the "Guest" user is.  This is done by updating the Authenication Settings and selecting the
				"Guest" user you have designated.  The "Guest" user must be enabled and be set as the guest
				user for anonymous access to work.
